Large animal viruses Flashcards
foot and mouth disease:
picornaviridae
fever, depression, hyperemia, vesicles, bullae; erosions, ulcerations; high morbidity and low mortality
zoonotic! humans can get vesicles on hands and mouth
Foot and mouth disease
vaccines - 7 serotypes, O is most common worldwide
ban feeding of waste products; restrict importation; it’s a reportable disease!
does not occur in horses
vesicular stomatitis
Rhadoviridae, vesiculovirus
New Jersey
Indiana serotypes
Most common animal affected by vesicular stomatitis?
horse
transmission of Vesicular stomatitis?
sand flies (lutzomyia Shannoni), black flies, windborne, contact, asymptomatic carriers of saliva
vesicular stomatitis - lesions
excessive salivation, snout lesions on pig
tongue lesions on horse.
vesicular exanthema of swine
eradicated! transmission via uncooked garbage, fish scraps, zoonotic but not huge public threat; repro failures,
San Miguel sea lion virus
fur seals, sea lions, with antibodies in whales, fish, swine. vesicular lesions to mouth and flippers
swine vesicular disease
picornravirudae, enterovirus
never reported in USA
spread through secretions, pigs can carry it for months
zoonotic potential
Jamestown canyon virus
bunyvirus, emerging cause of encephalitis in humans, mosquito transmission; distinguish from vesicular stomatitis. low incidence
equine poxvirus
ballooning degeneration; type b inclusion (basophilic) bodies seen in all pox viruses, type A is eosinophilic and not in all pox viruses
vaccinia
orthopoxvirus; horse pox/uasin gishu disease/viral papular dermatitis. muzzle, lips, genitals pox
molluscipox is called what?
molluschi contagiosi, human to animal transmission (anthropozoonosis); powdery crust, nonpruritic and non painful
equine viral arteritis
arteriviridae; horses and ponies (esp standardbred), not found in Ireland nor Japan, venereal transmission mares or stallions; aerosol if close contact, but less common because of foamites. signs: edema of limb, genetalia, periorbital, conjunctivitis, urticaria, abortion If pregnant mares are exposed. chronic carriers have normal sperm quality. reportable, not zoonotic. chronically affected stallions only have virus in semen. vaccinate stallions before breeding season, separate for 3 weeks from seronegative mares after initial vaccine AKA epizootic conjunctivitis
equine herpes coital exanthema
equine herpes virus type 3; veneral and insect transmission
-edema, scars, pregnancy rates are not reduced.
getah virus
togaviridae, alphavirus
horses and pigs, found in Japan and India; in training facilities prior to starting of vaccines. but returned in 2014 and 2015 in horses who didn’t finish vaccine series. mosquito and aerosol transmission, vertical transmission in pigs
African horse sickness
reoviridae, orbivirus
horses, mules, donkeys
viremia lasts 40 days in zebras - reservoir host!
insect transmission
4 forms: subclinical, subacute/cardiac, acute/pulmonary, mixed
papillomas In horses
equine viral on muzzle/lips,rapidly grow; spontaneous remission
ear papillomas in all ages and rarely resolve. transmitted by black flies’
genital papillomas in older horses, SCC precursor
regulation of viral dan replication due to
early region E1, E2
treatments for equine papillomas
podophyllin, imiquimod, bloodroot, autogenous vaccines, cisplatin/IL-2….
equine sarcoids
fibroblastic skin tumor, BPV 2, BPV2; appaloosas, quarter horses, insects may play a role
on lip commissures, venture, head, neck, lefgs
-tx: similar to papillomas
6 categories of equine sarcoids?
verrucous, fibroplastic, mixed, occult, nodular, malevolent
